If you’re in a relationship, and you need to make some extra income, the very fact that you’re coupled up could be a financial benefit. There are a lot of jobs that require two people to complete. There are also some roles that are specifically best for couples. If your need to make extra money is due to a relationship financial goal—like buying a house together, being able to afford to move out of your apartment, having children, or starting a joint retirement fund (or something fun like traveling the world)—then it’s only appropriate that you make that money together.
